When Adina Sky's settlement is razed by raiders, she's thrust into an adventure beyondanything she could have imagined.  Saved from death or slavery by Asher, a handsome,mysterious desert warrior, Adina's heart, and everything she knows is thrown intochaos. Asher tells her he's from a city state called Cosanti where people live in safety, haveplenty to eat, and where factories churn out wonders.  But Cosanti was a mythical placefrom fairytales, or so she thought. Asher with his newly manufactured equipment andhulking armored vehicle are real, so the city states must not be a myth after all. Asher offers her a choice. Join him on his quest to bring life back to the poisoned worldor go her own way. But going with him means venturing deep into the unforgivingwastes where living things are as twisted and horrific as the searing legacy that birthedthem. Choosing between her unbridled feelings for the extraordinary stranger who saved herlife or dying alone in the wastelands, Adina's choice is simple.  Will there be anything left for them to find, or will it only be a Season of Guns andDust?
